Lee,
It's sad to learn that another member 617 squadron has slipped away. The impact the raid during May 1943 had is legendary, and will remains so for decades to come.
We have been trying to locate the precise area where "Dinghy" Young's Lancaster crashed on the Dutch coast. When walking along the beach during our search I always have the hairs in my neck standing upright thinking what happened that night.
A large section of the wing is still there under the sand, let's hope we can find it to have historic evidence of that fateful night.
